Oregon Tourism

Just a footnote for the future. Being in the printing business. It allows me to travel through this great state of ours. I have traveled through 22 states of this great nation and it is my belief that Oregon is one if not the best State over all. We have everything. The Oregon Coast is absolutely Gorgeous. This is hard to say because I grew up in Southern California skateboarding and surfing the great waves of Huntington Beach California. I live in Medford Oregon and would not live anywhere else. Two days ago I had bright blue skies and today I have this wonderful white blanket of snow. By this Friday the snow will be gone and I will be golfing Saturday. Let's not forget Crater Lake and other great places to visit. My blog will be set in a truthful and simple way of explaining my feelings. I will not be adding discriptions like Sunset Magazine. I will close by saying that if any one has any details they would like to share or would like to talk to me. Please reach out and let's get the word out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday Nights

When I have a chance I always like taking a drive out to the Applegate or up to the Umpqua. This is not always the case when it comes to looking to do something on a Friday Night. Roxyanne Winery has it all. Friday nights at Roxyanne are wonderful. It is located in town, so you are not out in the countryside at night after a few glasses of wine. The tasting room is very nice and has some of the best people working behind the bar. If you are looking for a place to enjoy some great wine and great music. Go to Roxyann. get there before 5:30. The place fills up fast. The wine selection is very nice. The Pinot Gris and Claret are the best sellers for Roxyanne. For me it's the Tempranillo and my favorite is the Syrah. The wine maker does a wonderful job of keeping the wines in balance. Roxyanne also has a Port that is one of my favorites. I am no expert with ports. This is due to the fact that the brandy in a port usually upsets me belly. This Port style wine has great fruit and once again is very balanced and a joy to drink. See you there Friday.

Looking for a Winery that has wines that are always approachable

last night I was looking to enjoy a nice wine with my wife. I wasn't in the mood for a big red. I opened a bottle of Schmidt Family 2009 Viognier. As someone that considers himself a seasonal wino I would not usually open a white wine in February. I am so glad I did! This wine was wonderful. Great fruit on the nose to start. This was a clean and crisp wine that can be enjoyed year round. My plans for the other two bottles I have are easy. I will be opening them this summer while sitting around our pool with friends and family. It has been nearly six months since I have been out to Schmidt Family. I would suggest if you are in the Rogue Valley. Make sure to run out to the Applegate. Every wine that Cal Schmidt produces is very approachable. If you are looking to enjoy a great wine and by the way. Schmidt Family has one if not the best tasting grounds in the valley. This is a must go to Winery and don't forget to purchase your 2009 Viognier.

Sincerely,
